Voters need to know Dunn’s statements on school vouchers/ESA.

“The most unfortunate aspect of the school voucher program, or ‘school choice,’ is that it will only worsen the dire situation that public schools are already facing. We’ve already seen public school closures across San Antonio due to declining enrollment, changing housing patterns, and the expansion of charter schools. Because state school funding follows the student, the creation and implementation of vouchers will take away additional funding from public schools in Texas.” (San Antonio Report Staff, Zack Dunn | 2026 candidate for Texas House District 121, 1/5/26)

Tyler Smith (D)

What Voters Need to Know:

Smith works for an anti-gun organization.

• He works for “Everytown for Gun Safety.” – (LinkedIn, Accessed 5/27/26)
• Everyone for Gun Safety’s anti-gun positions
• “‘The evidence is clear: using a gun for self-defense is rare, ineffective, and far less common than the gun lobby leads Americans to believe,’ said Nick Suplina, SVP of Law and Policy at Everytown for Gun Safety. ‘For decades, the gun lobby has built its business on selling fear – convincing Americans through deceptive marketing that owning a gun is the only way to stay safe. But that could not be farther from the truth: guns are more likely to cause harm than to prevent it, and this profit-driven misinformation campaign continues to put American families at risk.’”- (Press Release, 11/12/25)
• “Everytown works with leaders across the federal government and on both sides of the aisle to advance smart, data-driven, pragmatic gun violence prevention legislation, executive action, or regulations and to stop the gun lobby’s dangerous, ‘guns everywhere’ agenda that would put more guns in more hands in more places.” – (Everytown, Federal Advocacy, Accessed 5/27/26)
• “‘Four days after the nation watched gunfire break out at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the Trump administration’s answer is to gut commonsense gun safety laws and sabotage the only federal agency dedicated to keeping guns out of criminal hands,’ said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. ‘President Trump and Director Cekada resorted to executive action for these gun lobby giveaways because they know even a compliant MAGA Congress wouldn’t touch something so politically toxic. But Trump’s enablers in Congress will have nowhere to hide when gun safety voters head to the polls this November — and accountability is coming.’” – (Press Release, 4/29/26)

Voters need to see Rabroker’s social media posts.

In a Facebook post, she claims voting for Trump “cost lives.”

• “If you voted for this, answer the question. I can tell you this: your ignorance is going to cost lives and inflict harm on the well-being of others. That’s what you want, that isn’t it? You attacked one of the most vulnerable populations. Do you think you’re tough? You’re proud of yourself for voting Republican every time, all because you wanted people to suffer who don’t subscribe to your bible, a bible that has been used to control people for centuries. You just fathom stepping outside of yourself for one second, yet you call yourself compassionate.  My entire life I’ve witnessed you all treat this like a football game. I’m disgusted with the Texans that I am surrounded by right now. You aren’t good people. This isn’t the friendly state. It is the great state of hate. You tore down our education system, our democracy for your small, shallow minds and soulless bodies. It’s disgusting. It’s equally disgusting to watch so many of you stay silent.”

Voters need to see his Social Media and Public Rhetoric.

“Killing” Transgender Restrictions: In an official June 2021 [1] legislative newsletter, Morales explicitly celebrated Pride Month and took personal credit for “killing” and “successfully [using] the deadlines” to defeat bills that would have restricted youth gender-transition procedures and regulated sports participation based on biological sex

Targeting Transgender Legislation: He characterized SB 29 (a bill to protect girls’ sports) as a “discriminatory bill meant to target transgender kids” and celebrated the preservation of gender-reassignment surgeries for minors by helping defeat HB 1399.

Radical Left Positions and Support

Support for “Red Flag” Laws: In a 2024 candidate survey[1], Morales called for “common sense gun-safety laws” including raising the age to 21 to purchase semi-automatic rifles, universal background checks, and red flag laws.

Voucher Repeal: He has taken a hardline stance against school choice, vowing to [1] “oppose vouchers at every turn” and explicitly supporting the “full repeal” of state education savings account programs.

Fiscal “F” Rating: Morales has a career cumulative grade of “F” from Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, receiving failing marks in 2021, 2023, and 2025 [1] for consistently favoring government expansion over tax relief.

Abortion Law Loopholes (HB 44[1] ): Authored the “Life of the Mother Act,” which critics argue expands the definition of “medical emergency” to create broad legal exceptions to state abortion bans and protects physicians performing abortions from disciplinary action.

Targeting Executive Security (HB 1034): Authored a bill requiring state officials to reimburse the state for out-of-state travel and security costs. This is viewed by opposition researchers as a direct political attack on Governor Abbott’s border security operations.

Blocking DEI Bans (SB 17[1] ): Voted against the ban on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and hiring practices in Texas public universities.

Mihaela Plesa    (D)

Against Women’s Sports Restrictions (SB 15, 2023[1] ): She voted against preserving female athletic opportunities by restricting participation in collegiate sports based on biological sex.

Against Drag Show Restrictions (SB 12, 2023[1] ): She voted against establishing restrictions on sexually oriented performances, such as drag shows, in public spaces where children are present.

Against School Library Standards (HB 900, 2023[1] ): Plesa voted against the Reader Act, which established standards to prevent sexually explicit books from being distributed in public school libraries.

Against Spending Controls (HB 100, Amendment 1[1] ): She voted against a taxpayer-protection amendment that would have required school districts to spend at least 50% of their funds on teacher salaries rather than administrative waste.

Against the DEI Ban (SB 17, 2023[1] ): Plesa voted against the bill that eliminated diversity offices, mandatory diversity training, and identity-conscious hiring standards in public universities.

Political Theatre

In August 2025, Texas state Representative Mihaela Plesa (along with dozens of other Texas House Democrats) participated in a two-week walkout to break legislative quorum and block a Republican-led redistricting map aimed at giving the GOP five additional U.S. House seats. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Quorum Break: Democrats fled the state, temporarily denying Republicans the attendance required to vote on the redrawn congressional maps. [1]

National Impact: Plesa stated the walkout ignited a nationwide movement. The redistricting battle also prompted retaliatory action from Democrats in other states, such as California, who introduced their own new congressional boundaries in response. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Repercussions: The absent Democrats faced daily fines and ultimately the maps passed, though Plesa and her colleagues pivoted to a continued legal battle over the gerrymandered maps. [1, 2]
